Greenbelt Brewers Association is a Homebrew Club for the home brewing aficionado (or beginner) in the Davis and surrounding areas. We are an AHA recognized club dedicated to the joy of home brewing. We have over 100 active members mostly from Yolo, Solano, Sacramento and Eldorado Counties. We were the Anchor 2012 Homebrew Club of the Year.

This club was started in an effort to expand knowledge, share ideas, learn new techniques, and educate others about the craft of homebrewing. Whether you are new to brewing, or have been brewing since the days of prohibition, all are welcome. So come on in, pour a pint, and we look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.

We currently hold meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 7PM-9PM at Sudwerk Brewery in Davis, CA. Come 30min early to have a pint at the dock store and meet fellow club members. Please Contact Us for more information if you are interested in coming to a meeting and or joining the club.

A typical meeting usually features a presentation on a brewing style or technique. The presentations are usually given by a club member and we try to invite guest speakers at least twice a year. The meetings are also a great opportunity to share homebrew and get feedback on your brew.

Please come and attend a meeting to check out GBA. Dues are not required for the first meeting. After which you should pay your dues to get access to the club only google group, as well as the members only webpage that archives previous presentations. Membership as well gives you access to club only activities. To join the club you need to fill out our registration form which can found on the club website or register in person at a meeting.
